Deadline reports that Foo will star in the Rush Hour pilot as Detective Lee, a character played by Jackie Chan in the movies.

Detective Lee is a Hong Kong cop assigned to investigate a case in Los Angeles with a brash and trouble-seeking US detective named Carter (originally played Chris Tucker).


Foo got his start as a stunt performer in films like Batman Begins, eventually going on to star in Street Fighter: Legacy and Tekken.


CBS confirmed it was working on a Rush Hour television series last September.
